Reports: Arkansas Razorbacks have signed a six-figure, five-year contract with a star player after turning down on rivals…..Read More.

According to 247Sports, Darius Acuff Jr., who is ranked as a five-star recruit, the top point guard, and the fourth overall prospect in the Class of 2025, made his official commitment to play for John Calipari at Arkansas on Friday.

Since accepting a five-year contract with the Razorbacks that was worth $7 million per season, Calipari has been successful in securing his first 2025 recruit with the Razorbacks. Calipari departed Kentucky for Arkansas in April.

A decision that Acuff made, which he disclosed on YouTube, was to go with the Arkansas Razorbacks rather than Kansas or Michigan. According to 247Sports, the 6-3, 180-pound native born and raised in Detroit is also a composite five-star prospect.

At the end of June, Acuff narrowed his choice down to eight schools: Arkansas, Kansas, Michigan, and the University of Connecticut. Prior to the announcement on Friday, he eliminated the two teams that had previously won the national championship. It was a successful official visit for me.

In an interview with 247Sports, Acuff stated, “I have a good relationship with John Calipari.” My travels took me to both Kentucky and Arkansas. I went to both of those states. The only thing that made a difference was the schools. The visit was quite enjoyable.

There is no better guard coach than Coach Cal. In the National Basketball Association, the majority of his guards are players.
